Congrats on the new bike. I was having the same issue with my limited. It got better as I put on more miles. It really got better after the 1st service and I switched to full synthetics.

Totally normal. All our Harley's were like that. After the first service they get better. Wife's Street Bob was really difficult to find neutral and my 14 Ultra is no different.

Make sure you are riding in areas that allow you to work the clutch, tranny, and brakes. Like others have said, it will get better.

I've never owned a HD that was "easy" to find neutral.

At the 1k, switch to either HD Formula+ or Red Line Primary Fluid in the primary, and either Amsoil SevereGear or Red Line with Shockproof in the transmission.
That will cure your problem.
